apropos of anything

This morning, I dropped my nose ring down the sink.

No, I haven’t forgotten that I have a post with this EXACT theme below. I just did it again. This time without water!

I put the nose ring on the countertop last night, next to a bottle of soap with a sticky label. This morning, when I picked up the soap to wash my hands, the nose ring came with it, and when I tried to separate the two, it fell down the drain. I wasn’t running any water, so I could see it, but attempting to extract it with a pair of tweezers only forced it further in. Removing the drain stop proved impossible again (although Ken, Ivan and Mike explained how to do that — it’s complicated!), so I undid the u-tube again… only this time nothing came out. I even ran the water at full blast for five minutes. The drains are clean, so I can only assume the crook of the ring is caught on the grate that holds the drain stop.

I think it is time to admit defeat on this particular piece of jewelry. Apparently, I am no longer meant to have it. I’m a little sad because it was my first real nose ring… but then, I am also the girl who routinely lost one earring out of a pair until she started checking for the earrings’ presence every fifteen minutes. (I outgrew that, in case you were wondering. My earrings stay on just fine now.) Now I just have to tell my parents.

Anybody up for some nose ring shopping?
